Gonna be an interesting day.

Well they've arrived in Ottawa apparently. Seems she and a very small contingent of followers are "marching" on parliament as we speak .

Like others have reported, Romana left Victoria in a small convoy on Monday. She's made some stops and has seen a small bit of support along the way (more than you would think someone who claims to be the secret Queen of Canada would get tho).

She's giving a speech near parliament now and while she has a pretty attentive and supportive audience, she's pretty rambly and it's not really going over well.

QAnon Queen of Canada is attempting to burn a Canadian flag on parliament grounds as her followers chant freedom. Plan is to burn this flag and hoist one of hers.

They can't seem to be able to light the flag on fire though.

Romana is talking at length about how she passed a psych evaluation—referring to how RCMP took her for one following her ordering followers to go after people facilitating vaccinations.

I can't imagine how bizzare this must be for the people in the audience not familiar with her

There was one person who seemed to be with the protest pleading with her not to burn the flag but her followers drowned him out saying he didn't understand what was going on.

She seems to be coming to an end of her speech. Her followers give her a chorus of "thank you" at the end.

A lot of her followers believed this would be the big moment for her. Her ascension. That obviously didn't come to be but I assume that won't deter very many of them.

Anyways, that seems to be it for now. If someone you know has been taken in by this movement or if you formerly were a part of it, I would love to talk to you. If you're willing to share your story please get in touch at mack.lamoureux@vice.com or DM me for my number.
